SPACE CADET almost certainly came up against something special when runner-up to Up For Review at Fairyhouse and is unlikely to face such a daunting task here. He had Acapella Bourgeois 13 lengths behind that day and has nothing to fear from Sandra Hughes' charge but Call It Magic could prove more of a threat. Ross O'Sullivan has booked Ruby Walsh for the ride and he was on board when the point-to-point and bumper winner made a very encouraging debut over timber in a huge field at Navan. Air Command will have needed the run behind Stone Hard at Gowran and is the type to make good progress.
